WBCOOP 2010 Event #5

8-Game

I placed! I came in within the 153 paid spots to secure a place in the Spring Championships Of Online Poker (SCOOP). There are over 20 events during SCOOP with each event hosting a low, middle and high stake entry. I only won an $11 entry, so I'll have to decide which event I am going to join.

All I know is that I felt like I played really well. There were points in the tournament when I could have taken a chance, but my goal was to place. That meant I had to fold a lot of hands that could have won me some pots.

When the blinds got really high, I ended up in a confrontation during razz. I raised only to be re-raised by the big blind. We were about even in chips. I called and got a 9. Rather than folding, I stayed in the hand and ended up calling a river bet. I lost to the wheel with a 9-low hand. That's probably the only hand I felt bad about. It brought my opponent up to 25k and me down to 5k. After that, my final hand came up during the stud portion and I was out.
